Anarchy in the UK: The Socio-Economic Factors Behind The London Riots

London Erupts in Violence and Chaos: Who’s to Blame?
Credit: Beacon Radio

The worst riots in England for several decades have drawn widely divergent interpretations from politicians and commentators. Views range from the right-wing position, which is that the rioters were all “thugs and delinquents” and should be punished accordingly, to the liberal view that prevailing socio-economic conditions in Britain played a major role in provoking an upsurge of anger.
One reason the events sparked so much speculation about their causes was because the rioting was not simply in one place, but in cities across England. The first riots started in the working-class North London suburb of Tottenham on August 6, following demonstrations against the fatal police shooting of Mark Duggan, a black 29-year-old father of four. The first rioters were black Londoners, but violence and looting soon spread to other parts of London, then to other major cities, including Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Liverpool and Birmingham. A simplistic racial interpretation of events became redundant as whites, Asians and blacks all rioted. But one thing most of the rioters had in common was their youth. Around 73% were under the age of 25.

The sheer scale of events was unprecedented in modern Britain. London has known previous riots, in Brixton in 1981, and Tottenham, in 1985. Both were riots by the black community against perceived police repression and brutality. In the 1985 Tottenham riot, a police officer was stabbed to death and more than 50 more officers ended up in prison. But the violence did not spread beyond those disadvantaged, working-class black communities.

The recent British riots had more in common with the 2005 riots in France, which were sparked by the death of two teenagers in the Parisian suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois. First, the French suburbs exploded with violence and then the rioting rapidly spread to suburban areas across the country. For three weeks, cars were burned, buildings were attacked and young people clashed with police. The riots culminated in a national state of emergency and the eventual cost was hundreds of millions of euros.

Both the French and British riots started in poor areas, where disaffected ethnic minorities face high levels of unemployment. (The rate of unemployment for 16-24-year old blacks in Britain is around 48%), and there are tensions between youths and police. But the riots then spread to other communities across England and France, including predominantly white neighbourhoods.

Matthew Moran, a research associate at the International Centre for Security Analysis, King’s College London, said:

“There were great similarities in the government response to the riots. The French rioters were labelled by politicians as ‘voyous’, or ‘thugs’, and both the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, and the British Police, have also labelled the rioters “thugs and delinquents”. This attitude serves a political function as it lays the ground for a response based firmly on repression. But it gives us a binary view of the situation so there are good guys and bad guys and if we get rid of the bad guys by putting them in jail everything will be okay. But I doubt very much the English riots were not influenced by socio-economic factors.”
Moran said the British government should remember how the French Government’s repressive approach had failed to address the socio-economic causes of the violence and more rioting followed in 2007.

“There were aftershocks after the deaths of some young people in a similar suburb, which was a sign that the underlying problems hadn’t been addressed. While on the surface the French rioters did not articulate clear demands, there was a message underlying the violence.

"Inhabitants of the banlieues are excluded from mainstream society, and the violence and destruction represented a revolt against this exclusion.”
The right-wing British media has also refused to consider socio-economic causes. The columnist Max Hastings, who attended the private Charterhouse School, where annual fees are £29,430, wrote in the Daily Mail:

“The rioters are illiterate and innumerate, beyond maybe some dexterity with computer games and BlackBerries. They are essentially wild beasts.”
And he continued: “They respond only to instinctive animal impulses — to eat and drink, have sex, seize or destroy the accessible property of others. Their behaviour on the streets resembled that of the polar bear which attacked a Norwegian tourist camp last week. They were doing what came naturally and, unlike the bear, no one even shot them for it...

“...The depressing truth is that at the bottom of our society is a layer of young people with no skills, education, values or aspirations. They do not have what most of us would call ‘lives’: they simply exist.”

"...Britain’s educational establishment has cringed helplessly in the face of a gang culture that rejects every tenet of liberal society. It’s violent, it’s sexist, it’s homophobic and it’s racist. But it is broadly tolerated by many people in the black community, which has lost control of its teenage youths.”
But Moran, at King’s College, said the riots would not be fully understood unless politicians and analysts delved deeper into the causes. He said:

“In the French riots, attacks were mostly directed towards state-owned buildings such as schools and police stations, symbolic of an education system that is selective and a justice system that appears discriminatory. The London riots have seen the opposite: attacks on private property and businesses. This also tells us something. Is it possible that these young people are attacking a consumer-oriented society in which they feel they have no stake?”

Collateral damage

A host of debilitating ills stemmed from the imperial premiership and Umno's hegemony: the judiciary was rendered compliant, and the civil service and police force became adjuncts of the Umno president and PM of the country.

Collateral damage in the business sphere from these deviant developments saw the fortification of the politics-business nexus that has directly led to the plutocracy Malaysia has become.

THE ROOT OF MALAYSIA IS PARAMESWARA(MALACCA) AND MENONG MAHAWANGSA (KEDAH), AND HINDU

Gandhi wrote in the "Harijan" that Indian education made

Indian students

foreigners in their own country.

The Radhakrishnan Commission said in their

Report (1950);

"one of the serious complaints against the system of education

which has

prevailed in this country for over a century is that

it neglected India's past, that it did not

provide the

Indian students with a knowledge of their own culture.

It had produced in some

cases the feeling that we are

without roots, and what is worse, that our roots bind us

to a

world very different from that which surrounds us".

THE HISTORY OF MALAYSIA, EITHER BEGAN FROM PARAMESWARA--MALACCA

OR FROM KEDAH HISTORY--I.E. MENONG MAHAWANGSA--ALL WERE BEGAN

FROM HINDU CULTURE, LANGUAGE, LIFESTYLE, CUSTOMS.

THIS IS THE TRUE, REAL FACT AND HISTORY!!!!

THE ROOT OF MALAYSIA IS PARAMESWARA(MALACCA) AND MENONG MAHAWANGSA (KEDAH), AND HINDU LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE---THIS IS ROOT OF MALAYSIA

BRITISH COLONIAL SHAMES AND MUDDY DIGGERS AND BASTARD GOONS

BRITISH IS NO.1 BASTARD IN THE WORLD FOR EXPLOITATION AND GLORIFYING BRIT'S UGLY ACTS, PROVOKE BASTARDISATION AND BRED OF BASTARDS OF PRIBUMI IN HER WORLD AND GLOBAL COLONIES--HISTORY RETOLD

BASTARDISATION OF BRITISH COLONIAL OFFICERS

There is no completely reliable estimate of how many people left Britain for a new life overseas during the years of empire, but most of them never returned, and, by 1900, a majority of English-speakers were living outside Europe. The British diaspora created a network of family connections stretching from a grey, damp island in the North Atlantic to dusty sheep stations in Australia, rough-and-ready mining towns in Africa and snowy wildernesses in Canada. So, while at any one time the imperial life was being lived only by a minority of the population, the colonial experience was familiar to many more.

When the British went to live in the lands they conquered, they were confronted immediately with the question of what made them distinct from the people among whom they lived. Indeed, when you read the popular literature of the period, its most offensive characteristic is the assumption of racial superiority over “brutes” and “savages”. As Cecil Rhodes put it, “We are the finest race in the world and the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race.”

As the empire matured, a peculiar illogicality seized the British: we rule more of the world than any other nation, therefore we must be superior to any other nation. In fact, of course, it was technological advance and entrepreneurial flair which gave birth to the empire. But a belief in some moral pre-eminence offered reassurance to the anxious imperialist. For the majority of empire officials – district officers and magistrates, policemen, teachers, farmers and engineers – the role was perhaps justification itself.

Yet it was a role in an alien land, and the customs and conventions of Hove or Huddersfield were absent. So the daily business of living in a British community – even a community of one or two, out in the bush – required the invention of a set of norms, of things which were done at certain times of the day, and things which were definitely not done at any time. These communities were obliged to define what being British meant. In the bungalows and clubs, the sundowners on the verandah and the suet puddings at the dinner table, they were acting out a version of what life was like at home. But it was a not-quite-perfect representation.

Creating and running this enormous enterprise required a certain type of individual, which gave Britain its idiosyncratic public-school system, designed to produce not intellectuals but “sound chaps” – capable, dependable, resourceful.

british colonial is as dirty, sucking and tyranical

COLONIALSM

PARAMESWARA MALAYSIA OR SHOULD BE CALLED AS PARAMESWARASIA??

Parameswara the Prince from Majapahit,Java landed in Muar,Johor in 1399/1400 AD(or earlier 1250?) and later established the Malay Sultanate of Malacca from 1400 to 1511.From 1511 to 1951,Malaysia evolved from being ruled by the Portugese(from Portugal),the Dutch(from Holland),the British(from UK).Between the rule of the Dutch and the British,Malaysia was nearly ruled by the French,if not for the deals between the Dutch/British that resulted in the British taking Malaysia and the Dutch taking Indonesia.Then there was a short stint by the Japanese(1942-1945) and the failed attempts by the Communist(1946-1989)....These are HISTORICAL facts,which have already HAPPENED..!

Finally between 1955 to 1957,the British agreed,but on condition that the other races,the Chinese and the Indians,BROUGHT in by the British in the late 1890s,(to work in the rubber plantations & tin mines )are to be included in the INDEPENDENCE of Malaya process,whereby there were a few conditions;

like CITIZENSHIPS of those who were already in Malaya by the year 1955;LANGUAGES;EDUCATION; RELIGIONS and the Malay's SPECIAL RIGHTS and the SULTAN SPECIAL POSITIONs.THESE,again were and are HISTORICAL FACTS,some are written,some are mutual understanding at thattime,some are unwritten understandings...

Umno did not revoke Terengganu Hudud under Umno rule now ....

Hudud Law is only meant for the muslims. But Umno makes it a mockery by saying that there will be chaos in this country if Hudud Law is being implemented because Malaysia is a multi-racial and multi- religion country.

Whereas Hudud Law has got nothing to do with the non –muslims since they could easily opt to the present British Colonial Common Law or Civil Law for that matter. Which is not even a Chinese, or an Indian Law or even a Christian, Hindu or Buddhist Laws in reality.

Being a democratic country , Hudud Law i.e. The Syariah Criminal Enactment 11 was passed by the Kelantan State Assembly in 1993 and The Syariah Criminal Enactment was passed by the Terengganu State Assembly in 2003 respectively. This is in accordance with the procedures of democracy engaged by PAS in its Islamic political course and plights which is contradicted with the speeches of Umno leaders right from Tunku till Najib. Such as Hudud will stop development and not all Muslim States implement Hudud. Making it a plain mockery and a criminal defamations toward God as The Absolute Law Giver , Islam and the muslims at large.

Umno says, “ Hudud in Kelantan and Terengganu is PAS’s Hudud” and where is Umno’s Hudud? . Umno says, “ Hudud is in the Qur’an “ but any lay man for that matter (not law-man) will tell Hudud in the Al-qur’an and the Al –Hadis ( Traditions of the prophet ) must be legalized first in the State Assembly and in the parliament as such Umno is the blockate of Hudud Law all these while by sending a letter of threat to the Kelantan Government not to implement Hudud. Thus, Hudud had been a mockery of Umno.

When Mahathir said,” Why TGNA not implementing it when he’s no more the PM “ has proven that he had bulshited all the yes man leaders and followers of Umno that Umno is the biggest Islamic party in Malaysia but he himself makes Hudud a mockery and played escapism whereas Hudud is the responsibility of all muslims to practice it as to the 5 time prayer , pilgrimage, zakat and fasting as obligatory practices as ordained in the Qur’an.

Any where we go in the world , one will never find a Buddhist Court, a Hindu Court , a Christian Court or a Judaism Court for that matter . But for the muslims there’s such religious court known as The Syariah Criminal Law pertaining to i) Hudud Law i.e. i) Syariqah( burglary), ii) Hirabah( Arms Robbery ), iii) Syurb( Intoxicants), iv) Adultery, v) Qozaf( Accussations of adultery and Sodomy without four eye-witnessses ) and vi) Apostacy which is only meant for the followers of Islam i.e. Muslims . Even the Medina Charter of the prophet First Benevolent Government in Islam did not abide the Jews , Christians and pagans to follow ii) Qisos ( Batteries and causes of injuries ) and iii) Taazir ( Judge verdict not beyond Hudud punishment which is not in Hudud or Qisos ) such as drugs crime which is not supposed to be hanged right away as in the present Civil Law or pardoned a hang sentence except for the benefacaries consent with a certain amount of compensations agreed upon by both parties.

The idea of Hudud is to protect the muslims i) Faith, ii) healthy and sober mind iii) lives from being raped or murdered , iv) genuine and clean siblings and v) protect the property . Thus Islamic Law is not to punish but to educate the people and their sins being pardoned if they were to be sincere . acceptable and surrender to God in return they are free from the sins committed in the hereafter. An Islamic System of a Benevolent Government is not merely in this world ( unlike Umno until 2020) but until the hereafter as our future and eternal world or the actual permanent state we are heading to.

But Umno’s hudud mockeries have created fear amongst the muslims themselves condemning without understanding . But with PAS out-reaching of the true teachings of Islam right from its first President Tuan Hj Fuad 60 years ago i.e. in 1951 PAS was formed in Butterworth That was when The Ulamaks left Umno and formed PAS for they didn’t agree with gamblings approved by Umno till now which is different from Kelantan.

PAS leadership was then taken by a modern time ulamak who wrote the book on “ Symposium Tasauf “ was well respected of his depth religious knowledge who was also the first Malay Doctor in Homeopathy medicine i.e. Professor Doctor Burhanuddin Al Helmy and his Deputy , Professor Doctor Zulkifly Muhammad. Prof. Dr. Burhanuddin once was invited for an international meeting known as The Asia-Africa Conference for the first time held ; where he was the only one representing Asia and Malaya and South East Asia for that matter as one of the masses freedom fighters leader against colonizations and imperialism

Now after 60 years , there are many professionals, doctors, engineers, lawyers, lecturers, professors, and ulamaks as well hand in hand in PAS plights for a Benevolent State . Ulamaks and Professionals as ONE entity which attracted the non –muslims as well to join in a universal course of non-racist , primordial , clean, just and fair to everybody regardless of race and religion . As a matter a fact unexpectedly PAS has formed a new wing called “ PAS SUPPORTERS WING which was once given a hint by Prof. Dr. Zulkifly Muhammad and now became a reality comprised of about 20,000 non-muslims; PAS Benevolent State of Kelantan being its model of a good governance , zero –corruptions recognized by International bodies such as Transparency International

Suprisingly, unlike Umno ‘s drama with MCA and Gerakan Hudud’s Mockeries. Where Umno did not revoke Terengganu Hudud under Umno rule now and MCA and Gerakan did not withdraw from BN as for the Syariah Criminal Enactment in Terengganu being accepted by them since 2003. Whereas DAP and PKR and PAKATAN acknowledged the Hudud Law approved in Kelantan and Terengganu prior to the formation of Pakatan Rakyat. Congratulations Pakatan ! killed Umno stratagies stabbing itself for good ! Promote Orange Book and Pakatan Rakyat Common Policy Platform for a New Malaysia !

In the matter of DAP , PKR and PAS interpretations of the Civil Criminal Law, Federal Constitution and the Syariah Criminal Enactment in particular to be implemented in Kelantan; have plenty of rooms to be discussed with .With the acknowledgement of Pakatan towards Hudud in Kelantan and Trengganu . It could be proceeded fairly through a “ Constitution Court” yet to be formed in considering that Religion Is within the absolute power of the Sultans and States without Sultans is the Agong. And Islam is the official religion of Malaysia in its real meaning not secularized i.e. Islam as i) “ Ad-deen Waddaulah and ii) Ad-deen wa syariah “ promoting A Benevolent Islamic System of Good Governance and just to all and other religions are free to practice there to.

With all due respect to all the non-muslims as a whole and PAS SUPPORTERS WING , DAP and PKR. PAS will never enforced the Hudud Law towards the non-muslims as ordained in the Holy Qur’an “ La iqra hafiddeen “ ( There is no compulsion in religion) i.e. upon the non-muslims but only to the muslims being made obligatory as practicing their faith .Thus, The Islamic System is fair to everybody regardless of Religion and Race for it is performed with the spirit of : Rahmatan Lil “Alameen” ( A blesseth From God To the Whole World ).

It is no different for Malaysians. Any dissenting voices are silenced with our draconian laws. Najib’s lieutenants distinguish themselves by singing praises in public about him. Didn’t Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob claim that he could mobilise three million people to support Najib on Facebook?

When Najib returned from Europe last week, having cut short his vacation, thousands turned up at the airport to welcome him.

The more intellectually challenged in this crowd thought Najib was magnanimous. If they cared to think a bit deeper, Najib was panicking about William Bourdon’s visit, the French lawyer who was in Malaysia to lecture about the Scorpene scandal. Najib subsequently deported Bourdon.

Nevertheless, it is common knowledge that the busloads of people greeting Najib are handsomely rewarded for their efforts.

Another similarity between Libya and Malaysia are the personal links the two leaders have with western nations. Gaddafi’s son, Saif, graduated from the London School of Economics and is closely linked to rich and powerful people in Europe and America.

In a British government trade and investment guide, Najib is described as an economics graduate from UK and someone whose rule is transparent – mere window-dressing to attract investors. There is no mention of Malaysia’s human rights abuses.

GREAT BRITAIN MOST SHAMEFUL EVENT IN HER HISTORY

SHAMES ON GREAT BRITAIN COVER-UP OF BATANG KALI MASSACRES AND MANY WAR CRIME INCLUDING RAPING OF DEATH FEMALE BODIES, KILLED THOUSANDS---IT IS THE MOST TERRIBLE WAR CRIME OF GREAT BRITAIN

on the testimony of villager Chong Hong, who claims he had a remarkable escape from Scots Guards’ bullets. "The soldiers gestured to us to turn our backs," he said. "We were all standing still, too frightened to move. Then the shooting began and I fell to the ground. I think I fainted from fright."

Inche Jaffar bin Taib, a Special Police Constable stationed at Batang Kali at the time of the killings, and who also acted as a guide for the Scots Guards, told Peng: "The Scots Guards told me not to look at the male detainees. I turned my back towards them and suddenly there was a terrific burst of gunfire. Women and children screamed. I turned around. There were dead bodies everywhere." He said he counted 25 bodies.

In 1970, disquiet over the Batang Kali killings persuaded Labour’s then Defence Minister, Denis Healey, to order an inquiry. A team from Scotland Yard was assembled to travel to Malaya but the inquiry was scuppered when Edward Heath’s Conservatives won the general election of that year and the inquiry was cancelled.

Ian Ward, a former Daily Telegraph war correspondent in south-east Asia who co-wrote the book with Peng, claims the Batang Kali cover-up proved "highly significant".

Ward said: "It set military parameters for operations. Commanders could thereafter remain confident that ‘excesses’ by their troops were unlikely to be exposed to public scrutiny.

"Equally important, Batang Kali undoubtedly sowed terror in the heart of the civilian population, just as it was planned to do."

GREAT BRITAIN MOST SHAMEFUL EVENT IN HER HISTORY AND UGLY COLONIAL CRUELTY, SINS AND EVILS

The incident occurred on 12 December 1948, six months into a 12-year campaign to crush the largely ethnic Chinese communists who were trying to drive out British colonialists.Official accounts describe villagers being killed as they escaped into the jungle, having been warned they would be shot if they tried to flee.However, survivors recall victims being led out of their homes and shot in the back.The massacre remained largely forgotten until the People newspaper in 1970 ran an account of the killings, featuring sworn affidavits by several soldiers who admitted the villagers were shot in cold blood.

British suppression of this in India was brutal and involved the hanging of whole families of men. We have a sorry colonial record along with many other countries. Ours is more recent than Mogul, Russian, Indian, Mogul, Shaka Zulu and so on. The current empire is American, and not short on squalor (the Philippine War and so on). One might ask what the world would look like now, had British, French and Russian forces bundled into the US in 1861, as intended. We probably owe a considerable amount of the progress in what democracy we have to the USA.

Those executive directors of such companies should be rounded up & send to china to be shot, better still promotors included. These people are cheating the investing public in broad daylight with nonsense in their companies. Should anyone still have some good words for them, they are just plain ignorant or incorrigibly stupidest.

>I am reproducing an article below to educate cintanegara,his fellow UMNO apologists like melurian,kasim amat and Malaysians who have been taught Malaysian History over the last 15 to 20 years or so.
A Small Piece Of HISTORY For Our Future Generation
Hitler’s public relations manager Goebbels once said “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”.Looks like that is what UMNO has been doing ever since Mamakthir came into power. This has spawned a new generation of Malaysians who do not know their own history.Once again our government had to wipe out any references to a famous Melaka prince as being Hindu and belonging to the powerful Hindu empire Sri Vijaya. So all of a sudden our museums,school text-books etc all refer Parameswara as a Malay prince,just like the fairy who turns a pumpkin into a grand carriage to take Cindarella to the ball with a magic wand.
It’s just that easy.That’s how magical the wand of “Ketuanan Melayu” is—can turn an Indian into a Malay.
What race ruled or did not rule is besides the point. What is important is not butchering history to create your own truths. You cannot change your race even if you convert–Parameswara could not have been responsible to UMNO’s stupidity and false sense of heritage thro ‘Ketuanan Melayu’.
If this is what it is based on,there is no ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ because the lineage of Melaka Sultans was an Indian and a Hindu Prince.It is clear from records that Parameswara never converted to Islam.He was an Indian Hindu who fled Palembang in Sumatra to eventually found Melaka circa 1400 AD and start the entire Malaysian royalty.
Malaysian royalty was and is of Indian/Hindu origin.
On the other hand it was Sri Maharaja who converted himself and the court of Melaka to Islam,and as a result took on the name of Mohammed Shah sometime after 1435.
But what is really sad is that our children are taught as though Malaysian history suddenly began in 1400 with an Islamic Melaka.
Even the Malays themselves are being cheated by UMNO into believing that everything started around 1400.WE are also led to believe that the Indians and Chinese first arrived on the shores of Malaysia only around 1850 as desparate indentured labourers,farmers and miners.
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHUR FROM THE TRUTH.
The cultural influence of India in particular,and China in South East Asia span over 2000 years starting perhaps with the arrival from India of the Brahmanical prince/scholar–Aji Saka in Java in AD 78, thro to Vietnam,Cambodia(Indo-China)Thailand,Burma,Indonesia,Bali,Borneo and beyond.
Malay culture is Indian culture.In fact the whole of South East Asia is heavily influenced by Indian culture.
The findings at Bujang valley speak of an ancient Indian/Hindu presence in Kedah.There were Chinese settlements in Pahang and Kelantan around the 13th-14th century and in the 12th century Singapore.The early Brunei Sultanate had a Chinese Queen.
One need not ponder at length the implications of Angkor Wat and Borobudur or that 40%-50% of Bahasa Malaysia comprises Sangkrit/Tamil words.But all of these are hidden away from the rakyat inc the Malays themselves so the Malays in particular grow up with limited knowledge of their own country and heritage.
An important archeological find that pointed to one of the greatest empires of
all times in history–Raja Cholan empire that ruled from the Maldives thro India,Sri Lanka and right down to South East Asia found deep in the jungles of Johore a few years ago and made headlines in the main stream newspapers in 2005 suddenly disappeared from the news.
